Newmindspace promotes "...interactive public art, creative cultural interventions and urban bliss dissemination based in New York and Toronto." Many are the events conducted by Newmindspace in the names of art and fun. There's Bubblebattle as depicted, and, for perhaps just one other example, Urban Capture the Flag:

"Capture the Flag is a massive, adrenaline-pumping, urban game played on the streets of downtown Toronto. Two teams hide flags in their territory and attempt to capture the enemy flag using subways, streetcars, bicycles, longboards or their own two feet. Join us as we dash through the Financial District, evade the enemy, hide behind Toronto's skyscrapers, travel through the PATH and score a point."

Many are the events, and many the stories (some of which inspire, some of which engender ire). All of which help define a play-art form which, crazy as it may be, redefines art, play, and the world we live in.

You can download the instructions for conducting a game of Capture the Flag in your very own urb.
